Anyone know any UK based equivalents ?
- knes 14y agoin France we have Jimmy Fairly which is a 100% Copy/paste of Warby Parker. Even the Branding & naming is similar. http://www.jimmyfairly.com/fr/ http://www.jimmyfairly.com/fr/
- cdrxndr 14y agoHoly shit ... pricing is even 95 euros. Any background on this - are they part of a group that specializes in copying success in other markets (e.g., Rocket Internet), or is it an independent startup?
- ccozan 14y agoSeems not: http://www.rudebaguette.com/2012/02/16/jimmy/ http://www.rudebaguette.com/2012/02/16/jimmy/ They asked via an email, got no response, so they build it.

Though from what I have read, it looks like the UK opticians market has already been disrupted more than the US one has - in the last decade or two, war between retailers made it possible to get cheap spectacles on the high street. But prices have crept up and the time could be ripe for more disruption.
